Although the possibility of culls in Dorset has been put on hold until 2015, protesting groups say the public needs to stay on top of what is going on.

They say there is ‘growing public feeling’ against badger culls.

Andrew Butler, from Dorset for Badger and Bovine Welfare said: “MP Owen Paterson has been very clear that he wanted to roll the cull out to 10 counties and we have very clear indications that Dorset is at the top of the list.

“The government hasn’t been able to roll out the culls because the trials have been a complete and utter failure.

“It had no option but to stop the roll-out but that doesn’t mean they aren’t going to try next year.

“We feel the best course of action is to be prepared.

“Events like today are about keeping the public in the loop about what is going on and promote the badger vaccination programme.”

He said teams of volunteers are signing up to train to vaccinate badgers so that they can help Dorset farmers if they decide it is ‘a real and effective alternative’ to the cull.

People came from Bristol, Gloucester, Somerset and the New Forest to join in the march.

The protesters said they want better control of livestock, more rigorous TB testing and vaccination as an alternative to the badger cull.

They argue that vaccination is more effective and Dominic Dyer, chairman of the Badger Trust, said TB rates in cattle in Wales have dropped 48 percent over the last five years using these methods.

He gave a speech to crowds in the middle of South Street and later told the Echo: “This is the 17th march we’ve had around the country in six months.

“Many people here have never marched before but feel so passionate about this issue they want to make their voices heard.

“We want to bring this issue to the attention to people around the country; this is the biggest rallying wildlife campaign in Europe.”

Mr Dyer said that many of the MPs who voted for a cull have now changed their minds and some have been to see the work that was being done on alternatives to the cull.

Farmers in Dorset say the county could lose its dairy farming industry if steps are not taken to tackle the spread of TB.

As reported in the Echo, president of the National Farmers' Union Meurig Raymond said it would be doubling its efforts to lobby the government.

His words came after NFU Dorset chairman Paul Gould discovered around a quarter of his in-calf animals would have to be slaughtered after contracting the disease.

Another Town and again the same message to Government, start taking note of Public opinion. Every single person wants to see the long term Eradication of Bovine TB.in Cattle and Wildlife. But agrees with the Independent Experts Panel that the Cull was " ineffective and Inhumane.In short it Failed was controversial and expensive. Science has been bypassed by politics in ENGLAND. It must now adopt a Science based Humane way forward and end the killing of Wildlife. NOT Next year -- but NOW.

I must admit to feeling a little bemused by all this Badger nonsense. I may be wrong but the Badger does not contribute to human life. We can't eat it, wear it or sit on it. It does though have a disease that kills the things which we like to eat, wear and sit on. So therefore, lets get rid of the badger once and for all. Why not obliterate the lot of them ?

Whereabouts should we go to see this 'cry' in the sky above Dorchester. Is it going to be a permanent feature cos I didn't know to look for it today, will it still be there tomorrow and the following days? I agree with marabout's comments above. The badgers together with gulls (seagulls) and other pests should be got rid of.

Marabout-- you also have to wonder in your world whether some humans contribute in any way to the world , and the environment we live in. After all you cant eat them any longer, sit on them or wear them. But I agree why mess with science and the development of any humane cure for an infectious disease whether in animals or humans. Just kill them and inhumanely at that. In this case Science has advanced and gives you the choice, lets progress for the benefit of others following us. Many of the public have indicated their choice on this, having seen what the Politicians have achieved so far.

Other Species are not here for OUR convenience - apart from the sheer JOY sight of them gives to all non-retards. Why should Badgers feel obliged to contribute ANYTHING to hominid needs (we aren't 'human' - that's the Northern Cheyennes you were thinking of - WE'RE just a virus with shoes) I often wonder whether posters of these anti- Nature comments are the same ones who asked *What use are Bats ??* when the so-called *relief* road was being debated. Bats are about a million times more miraculous than we dull, boring, uninteresting chimps could EVER be, if we lived forever (Goddess forbid !!!!) Built-in sonar, wings made of a thin membrane stretched across elongated fingers - WOW - fascinating !! Natural History is, without doubt, the most fun you can have with your clothes on, and, as one sage Amerikan Indian observed, *When all the Animals are gone, man will suffer from a great loneliness of spirit !!* I agree, and if people would but give Wild creatures a chance, they can become your friends. A dog is no substitute for a Wild creature with whom you are on friendly terms, and kicking a bladder of air around a field with 21 other grown men isn't going to help, either - for your spiritual health, you MUST have Nature !! Currently, Wildlife mistrusts us because we are perceived to be the killers - the evil ones - but once you take the first step towards treating your fellow tenants on this planet as your EQUALS, as living beings rather than THINGS, they will respond, gradually. Some Great Tits, who have been coming to my garden for peanuts, would originally flee when they saw me outside my rez. - but I spoke gently to them, and over a period of time, they have now come to trust me so much they'll sit on my fence, about eight feet away, pecking at their peanuts. No doubt they'll become even more confiding in the fullness of time..

I think HALVING the world's hominid population is extremely unambitious. If a naturalist from another world were visiting, she may well consider 500,000 of a 190 lb ape a reasonable proposition, but double that number, and I'm confident she'd raise her equivalent of eyebrows and query whether that wasn't, perhaps, a little unbalanced for the general scheme of life on earth, and the health and wellbeing of all those OTHER species. Life ISN'T all about us - it's about scientifically interesting, beautiful and charismatic people, too !! Each and every one of them is here for THEIR OWN purposes - not for OUR convenience. We are merely privileged to share this world with them, and are immensely enriched by the intellectual fulfilment they afford us. I suppose the fight for equal rights for ALL life will be a long and bloody struggle, since the dullards are not SO dull that they don't realise this means an end to EATING Animals (*It's the 21st Century - are you STILL eating Animals ??!!*) but no doubt we'll get there EVENTUALLY !!

Yes, Sigurd the Moron - VERY damaged goods - damaged by people who *THINK* it's OK to keep on breeding more and more arrogant, aberrant chimpanzee GIGAvermin (we passed the vermin mark when our worldwide numbers exceeded ONE MILLION). My friend ST, in Galt, California, would call you an oxygen thief - a fickung waste of space - and SHE'D BE 100% right. If I'd ever thought breeding chimps was a worthwhile hobby, and I'd produced something ten times better than you, I'd have strangled it at birth !! DON'T blame ME for reacting to how YOU and retards of your ilk have made the cuntry and the world. YOU are the problem, I and my kind are the solution !! I am widely acknowledged to know just what's what in the world - everyone who's discussed things with me says the same. You, on the other hand, know doodley-squat about the REAL world, the world that sustains even an unappreciative pestilence such as yourself. Doubtless, when not trolling online, you sit in the corner of some hostelry quaffing ale and holding forth about the world as YOU think it is, seen through your dark little tunnel. I realise I'm wasting my valuable time discussing matters which are manifestly WAY beyond your ken - so I'll leave you to your dark little miserable world with this thought: *How come if you destroy something made by man, it's called VANDALISM, but if you destroy something made by Nature, it's called PROGRESS ??!!*

So, people who want to kill badgers are compared with Hitler? That's why your argument falls down, Not one response on this thread has come up with a single reason to keep badgers. Anyone who suggests that we destroy them is called a hitler ...merely because they want to kill a living creature. So, apart from watching them juggle and cook - what contribution do badgers make to this world? None. So let's shoot the lot of them.

EVERY species, except for Nature's mistake - Homo horribilis ignoramus - performs a useful function within the amazing machinery of ecological connections. The fact that you know squat about Nature gives you NO right to comment on it, when all these intricate and vital connections are a closed book to you.

The vaccine has a role to play, but so does culling. Not just in controlling TB but also to keep a species that has grown in numbers so much so since becoming protected that it's having a huge impact on other wildlife. It's made out that farmers want them wiped out, that's not the case. The vaccine doesn't work in badgers that are already infected (as many as 1 in 3) & you can't vaccinate cattle. The cull in Somerset would of been a lot more affective if animal rights activists hadn't been interfering, the same activists that thought it was a good idea a few years back to release mink in to the countryside (that worked out well then!). I like badgers but they're not the fluffy harmless creatures they're made out to be, they are destructive, aggressive animals that will & are causing a major issue within our countryside. The vast majority of the public don't care what happens as long as they have affordable food on the table, the small minority of badgerist that are unwilling to see things from any other prospective than there own are delaying getting this issue back under control.

Article on the facebook link - small bit C&P'd below https://www.facebook .com/BadgerCullPage? fref=ts I know this post is very long, however please take the time to read it, it is one of the best pieces we've ever posted, and from someone with real and genuine knowledge. Could I also ask anyone who reads this to copy paste and post it onto all and any anti cull pages as ofter as possible Re Bovine TB & the action that DEFRA & farmers want to carry out but the Government has continually for 43 years dragged it's feet for fear of losing votes. Those opposed to controlling badgers are responsible for the spread of TB in badgers over a huge area of England and Wales. The Government dithers about for 43 years, spending £millions on research that is inconclusive and disputed by badgerists, AR nutters and vegans who's agenda are is to eradicate livestock farming full stop. They argue every which way that badgers are not responsible for infecting cattle, they muddy the waters, disrupt trials and intimidate farmers. They have found a few "wildlife" vets to support them whilst every farm and DEFRA vet has been saying for the last 40 years that if your farm (in the designated HIGH RISK areas) have badgers, sooner or later your herd will go down with TB. The cost to the country is now into the £billions. The reasons for the cull were explained way back in 1995 by :- Dr. John Gallagher's Update on the Proposed Badger Cull Western Morning News 19.12.05 BADGER CULL DEBATE Dr John Gallagher, a vet from Lustleigh, on the fringe of Dartmoor, was the organiser of a petition calling on the Government for a cull of TB-infected badgers, which was signed by hundreds of rural vets from all over the country

Cookie 720- you can vaccinate badgers successfully and there is even a social group immunity created for those cubs not vaccinated and still underground. You can Vaccinate Cattle. But the politics of DEFRA and the EU would like us all to believe that it would compromise cattle exports. But only about 2% of the UK cattle trade is exports. Chief VET Wales has recently visited Ethiopia which has some 52 million Cattle and is using Vaccination. Which is giving between 60 to 70 % effectiveness . Wales has adopted a humane science Based Bovine TB programme including stricter regulations on Cattle testing and Cattle movement as well as Badger Vaccination. In 12 months the BTb slaughter of infected cattle has fallen by 33%. And the cost under half the recent England Ineffective Cull. Wales has indicated it will progress to develop a Cattle Vaccination Strategy The Cattle test at the moment is only 80% effective, missing 1 in 5 infected cattle in the Herd. In FEB this year over 100 Cattle were sold at Cheshire market and went to 28 different UK farms. They were not tested pre sale and were infected. . This sort of Spread by Cattle movement is a greater risk than Badgers. get the humane science based comprehensive programme and testing and Vaccination fully in force in ENGLAND. it is working better in other parts of the UK. Or is it just a political thing in England Kill badgers. You will not convince anyone that to cure any infectious disease in cattle or wildlife you do not need humane science.Killing healthy badgers with a Bullet is not an effective solution..

I also find it hard to understand how the likes of the RSPB find it acceptable to cull fox's, crows, magpies, goats etc to protect ground nesting birds or the RSPCA's huge number of healthy animals destroyed each year opposed to re homing. Yet they are so obstructive and unwilling to work together on the issue of TB. The huge drop in paid up members of the RSPCA shows the lack of trust the general public has in this now political animal rights "charity".

This sort of Spread by Cattle movement is a greater risk than Badgers. get the humane science based comprehensive programme and testing and Vaccination fully in force in ENGLAND. it is working better in other parts of the UK. Or is it just a political thing in England Kill badgers. You will not convince anyone that to cure any infectious disease in cattle or wildlife you do not need humane science.Killing healthy badgers with a Bullet is not an effective solution..

You seem to have missed some points of my comment, yes I agree vaccination has it's place and will play a big part in controling TB. But you can't vaccinate infected badgers, infected sets should be culled out. If the anti cull groups are right then we won't need to cull many!? There is an EU ban on cattle vaccine because as you know at this point it renders testing useless. Testing every 60 days & pre movment testing limits cross herd infection , and you still have a large number of closed herds testing positive? Culling has worked well in Irland, Austraila etc . My main point was that I think that anti cull protesters arnt helping the issue by being so tunnel visioned. We all need to work together to control this issue and the huge numbers of badgers that are running riot.

Would you like some peanuts?

No - but I'd be happy to give you a saucer of milk (just ignore that odd, bitter taste in it, it's only the aconite - for extra flavoring, you understand !!)

I think HALVING the world's hominid population is extremely unambitious. If a naturalist from another world were visiting, she may well consider 500,000 of a 190 lb ape a reasonable proposition, but double that number, and I'm confident she'd raise her equivalent of eyebrows and query whether that wasn't, perhaps, a little unbalanced for the general scheme of life on earth, and the health and wellbeing of all those OTHER species. Life ISN'T all about us - it's about scientifically interesting, beautiful and charismatic people, too !! Each and every one of them is here for THEIR OWN purposes - not for OUR convenience. We are merely privileged to share this world with them, and are immensely enriched by the intellectual fulfilment they afford us. I suppose the fight for equal rights for ALL life will be a long and bloody struggle, since the dullards are not SO dull that they don't realise this means an end to EATING Animals (*It's the 21st Century - are you STILL eating Animals ??!!*) but no doubt we'll get there EVENTUALLY !!

Well, I think the correct number is probably 2 billion, since that is what the population of the planet was before the Oil Age. With the end of the Oil Age, some predict that the population will rapidly return to that level. After all, we are now so utterly dependent on computerised supply chains that most of us would be starving within a week of the supermarket shelves emptying. Personally, i'm ok with that, provided i'm not one of the 4 billion who have to make way....;-)

I must admit to feeling a little bemused by all this Badger nonsense. I may be wrong but the Badger does not contribute to human life. We can't eat it, wear it or sit on it. It does though have a disease that kills the things which we like to eat, wear and sit on. So therefore, lets get rid of the badger once and for all. Why not obliterate the lot of them ?

Well, judging by this post, there are plenty of retards about. Lets cull them shall we? We can't eat them, wear them or sit on them after all, and they contribute nothing to the world.

You raise an interesting question. There are, indeed, a lot of "retards" about (by which i mean the kind that you find on Littlemoor and in Westham, not people with learning difficulties). Culling is an extreme measure, but i do wonder what can be done about the birth rate.
